        <br /><br /><font class="note">Note: All underlined columns can be sorted on by clicking the column name.</font>
        <ul type="circle">
        <li><font class="header3">Person</font> - This column includes the alias of the team member involved in the selected sprint.</li>
        <li><font class="header3">Buffer</font> - This column includes the estimated work buffer for the team member during the selected sprint. The buffer indicates how much how a team member is able to accomplish during a standard 8 hour work day. A buffer of greater than 1 means that the team member is getting less than 8 hours of work done per day, while a buffer less than 1 means the team member is getting more than 8 hours of work accomplished.</li>
        <li><font class="header3">OOF Hours</font> - This column includes the estimated out of office hours/days for the team member during the selected sprint.</li>
        <li><font class="header3">Available Sprint Hours/Days</font> - This column includes the estimated number of hours/days the team member has to complete work during the selected sprint.</li>
        <li><font class="header3">Calculate Sprint Time</font> - This column includes a checkbox which allows the user to select whether the Tackle page should calculate the available number of work hours/days for this team member, or if the value in the available hours/days column should be used. Tackle assumes the team member is a full time resource and calculates the available time by taking into account out of office time and the estimated buffer. This box should be left unchecked if the team member is a part time resource or has a fixed number of hours/days they can spend working for this scrum team.</li>
